Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) Study for Parkinson's Disease (PD)
This study looks at how a treatment called Deep Brain Stimulation (DBS) helps with memory issues in people with Parkinson's disease. DBS is a procedure where small electrical pulses are sent to the brain to help control symptoms. In this study, the focus is on understanding if DBS can improve memory problems by stimulating a part of the brain called the substantia nigra.
Participants will be aged 50-70 and have had PD for less than 20 years. The study will run from January 2024 to December 2026, involving about 60 patients. The safety and effectiveness of the treatment will be checked by measuring memory task performance and monitoring health indicators like blood pressure and heart rate.
- Study lasts 3 years, from January 2024 to December 2026.
- Participants will have brain stimulation tested during and after DBS surgery.
- Free head MRI and fMRI scans are provided, with a travel subsidy of 400 yuan.
